The Art of Giving | A Monk's Guide to Generosity (5 Tips)

We all understand the power of giving and generosity, intellectually. However; how's your practice of it? Do you give as often as you would like? As a Buddhist monk, we learned that giving or generosity, is the foundation of our practice. This is one of the ten perfections that we try to cultivate. In this video, I wanted to explore the topic of giving and generosity from what I have learned from my own path and being in the monastery as a Buddhist monk in Thailand. I hope you can use some of these tips to help develop, improve or deepen your spiritual practice. Enjoy! #buddhistmonk #monks #giving
